Once installed, this python module provides an ephemeral-hidden-service
script
to create an ephemeral Tor onion services. It makes an arbitrary port on your
local machine accessible as an onion service, on the Tor network.
As such, it can be used to replace ngrok, localtunnels, etc. with several advantages, the main being no third party is involved, except the Tor network itself.
Tor must be installed and running on your machine. Its controller port must be accessible.
